Safety Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to enhance your safety:
all routine and regular inspections
specified in this manual.
●● Stop the engine and keep sparks and flame
away before filling the fuel tank.
●● Do not run the engine in enclosed or partly
enclosed areas. Carbon monoxide in exhaust
gases is toxic and can kill you.
●● Perform
Always Wear a Helmet
It’s a proven fact: helmets and protective
apparel significantly reduce the number and
severity of head and other injuries. So always
wear an approved motorcycle helmet and
protective apparel. P.11
Before Riding
that you and your passenger are both wearing
an approved motorcycle helmet and protective
apparel. Instruct your passenger on holding
onto the grab rails, leaning with you in turns,
and keeping their feet on the footpegs, even
when the motorcycle is stopped.

Safety Guidelines
Take Time to Learn & Practice
Even if you have ridden other motorcycles,
practice riding in a safe area to become
familiar with how this motorcycle works and
handles, and to become accustomed to the
motorcycle’s size and weight.
Ride Defensively
Always pay attention to other vehicles around
you, and do not assume that other drivers see
you. Be prepared to stop quickly or perform an
evasive maneuver.
Make sure that you are physically fit, mentally
focused and free of alcohol and drugs. Check

Safety Guidelines
Motorcycle Safety
Make Yourself Easy to See
Make yourself more visible, especially at night,
by wearing bright reflective clothing,
positioning yourself so other drivers can see
you, signaling before turning or changing
lanes, and using your horn when necessary.
Ride within Your Limits
Never ride beyond your personal abilities or
faster than conditions warrant. Fatigue and
inattention can impair your ability to use good
judgement and ride safely.
Don’t Drink and Ride
Alcohol and riding don’t mix. Even one
alcoholic drink can reduce your ability to
respond to changing conditions, and your
reaction time gets worse with every additional
drink. Don’t drink and ride, and don’t let your
friends drink and ride either.
Keep Your Honda in Safe Condition
It’s important to keep your motorcycle properly
maintained and in safe riding condition.
Inspect your motorcycle before every ride and
perform all recommended maintenance. Never
exceed load limits ( P.17), and do not modify
your motorcycle or install accessories that
would make your motorcycle unsafe ( P.16).
If You are Involved in a Crash
Personal safety is your first priority. If you or
anyone else has been injured, take time to
assess the severity of the injuries and whether
it is safe to continue riding. Call for emergency
assistance if needed. Also follow applicable
laws and regulations if another person or
vehicle is involved in the crash.
If you decide to continue riding, first evaluate
the condition of your motorcycle. If the engine
is still running, turn it off. Inspect for fluid

WARNING
Carbon monoxide gas is toxic.
Breathing it can cause
unconsciousness and even kill you.
Avoid any areas or activities that
expose you to carbon monoxide.
Motorcycle Safety
leaks, check the tightness of critical nuts and
bolts, and check the handlebar, control levers,
brakes, and wheels. Ride slowly and cautiously.
Your motorcycle may have suffered damage
that is not immediately apparent. Have your
motorcycle thoroughly checked at a qualified
service facility as soon as possible.
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide,
a colourless, odorless gas. Breathing carbon
monoxide can cause loss of consciousness and
may lead to death.
If you run the engine in a confined or even
partly enclosed area, the air you breathe could
contain a dangerous amount of carbon
monoxide. Never run your motorcycle inside a
garage or other enclosure.

Riding Precautions
Running-in Period
During the first 500 km (300 miles) of running,
follow these guidelines to ensure your
motorcycle’s future reliability and
performance.
●● Avoid full-throttle starts and rapid
acceleration.
●● Avoid hard braking.
●● Ride conservatively.
Brakes
Observe the following guidelines:
●● Avoid excessively hard braking and sudden
shifting to a lower gear.
aSudden braking can reduce the
motorcycle’s stability.
aWhere possible, reduce speed before
turning; otherwise you risk wheel
slippage.
●● Exercise caution on low traction surfaces.
aThe wheels lock more easily on such
surfaces, and braking distances are
longer.
●● Avoid continuous braking.
aRepeated braking can overheat the
brakes, reducing their effectiveness.

Riding Precautions
❙Engine Braking
Your motorcycle is equipped with a brake
system that distributes the braking force
between the front and rear brakes.
The distribution of the braking force applied to
the front and rear brakes is different when
operating the lever only and when operating
the pedal only.
For full braking effectiveness, operate both the
lever and pedal together.
Engine braking helps slow your motorcycle
down when you release the throttle. For
further slowing action, downshift to a lower
gear. Use engine braking with intermittent use
of the brakes to reduce speed when
descending long, steep slopes.
This model is also equipped with an Anti-lock
Brake System (ABS) designed to help prevent
the brakes from locking up during hard
braking. Always use the recommended tyres
to ensure correct ABS operation.
●● ABS does not reduce braking distance. In
certain circumstances, ABS may result in a
longer stopping distance.
●● ABS does not function at speeds below
10 km/h (6 mph).
●● The brake lever and pedal may recoil slightly
when applying the brakes. This is normal.
Motorcycle Safety
❙Combined ABS
❙Wet or Rainy Conditions
Road surfaces are slippery when wet, and wet
brakes further reduce braking efficiency.
Exercise extra caution when braking in wet
conditions.
If the brakes get wet, apply the brakes while
riding at low speed to help them dry.

Riding Precautions
Motorcycle Safety
Parking
●● Park on a firm, level paved surface.
●● If you must park on a slight incline or
loose
surface, park so that the motorcycle cannot
move or fall over.
●● Make sure that high-temperature parts
cannot come into contact with flammable
materials.
●● Do not touch the engine, muffler, brakes
and other high-temperature parts until they
cool down.
●● To reduce the likelihood of theft, always
lock the handlebar and remove the key
when leaving the motorcycle unattended.
Use of an anti-theft device is also
recommended.
4.Turn the handlebar fully to the left.
aTurning the handlebar to the right
reduces stability and may cause the
motorcycle to fall.
5.Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK
position and remove the key. P.33
❙Parking with the Side Stand
1.Stop the engine.
2.Push the side stand down.
3.Slowly lean the motorcycle to the left until
its weight rests on the side stand.

Importance of Maintenance
Importance of Maintenance
WARNING
Improperly maintaining your
motorcycle or failing to correct a
problem before you ride can cause a
crash in which you can be seriously
hurt or killed.
Always follow the inspection and
maintenance recommendations and
schedules in this owner’s manual.
Maintenance Safety
Always read the maintenance instructions
before you begin each task, and make sure
that you have the tools, parts, and skills
required. We cannot warn you of every
conceivable hazard that can arise in
performing maintenance. Only you can decide
whether or not you should perform a given
task.
Maintenance
Keeping your motorcycle well-maintained is
absolutely essential to your safety and to
protect your investment, obtain maximum
performance, avoid breakdowns, and reduce
air pollution. Maintenance is the owner’s
responsibility. Be sure to inspect your
motorcycle before each ride, and perform the
periodic checks specified in the Maintenance
Schedule. P.40
Follow these guidelines when performing
maintenance.
●● Stop the engine and remove the key.
●● Park your motorcycle on a firm, level surface
using the side stand or a maintenance stand
to provide support.
●● Allow the engine, muffler, brakes, and other
high-temperature parts to cool before
servicing as you can get burned.
●● Run the engine only when instructed, and
do so in a well-ventilated area.

Maintenance Schedule
The maintenance schedule specifies the
maintenance requirements necessary to
ensure safe, dependable performance, and
proper emission control.
Maintenance
Maintenance work should be performed in
accordance with Honda’s standards and
specifications by properly trained and
equipped technicians. Your dealer meets all
of these requirements. Keep an accurate
record of maintenance to help ensure that
your motorcycle is properly maintained.
Make sure that whomever performs the
maintenance completes this record.
All scheduled maintenance is considered a
normal owner operating cost and will be
charged for by your dealer. Retain all
receipts. If you sell the motorcycle, these
receipts should be transferred with the
motorcycle to the new owner.
Honda recommends that your dealer should
road test your motorcycle after each
periodic maintenance is carried out.
